Stella "Sue" Wheat went to be with the Lord on Friday, February 27, 2015. Sue was born to the late Jacqueline and Bailey Henderson in Freer, Texas on June 30, 1940 and was raised there.
She is survived by her daughter, Terry Gray and husband, Ron; son, Michael Wheat and wife, Rhonda; stepsons, Brad Wheat and wife, Michella, and Jonathan Wheat; grandchildren, Jason Floyd, Grant Wheat, Garrett Wheat, Dyanne Wheat, Marilyn Wheat and Rayce Wheat; great-grandchildren, Emery Wheat and Joseph Kincaid; brother, John Henderson and wife, Kay; nephews, Ty Henderson, Drew Henderson, Brian Henderson and Kyle Henderson.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Mike Wheat.
Sue spent most of her life in Cuero and prided herself in serving the community. She served on the Cuero City Council for 8 years, was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, former president of Cuero Rotary Club, served on the Prison Committee, was Director of Juvenile Probation for one year, and was once chosen with her husband, Mike, to be a Cuero Citizen of the year.
Sue truly loved her family and friends, and enjoyed having "get-togethers", touring, celebrating, gardening, cooking, or just sharing life. The love of her friends, during her time of need, was very evident and much appreciated by her family.
Visitation will be Tuesday, March 3, 2015 from 5 to 7 pm at Freund Funeral Home. The funeral will be held Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at 10 am at Freund Funeral Home with Dr. Glenn Robertson officiating. Interment will be on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at Sunset Cemetery in Mountain Home. She spent many happy days, in her youth, visiting her grandparents in this area and was proud that they donated a generous amount of the property for the Cemetery where many of her relatives are laid to rest.
